  > The sirens are only along the coast. Not mountain side. the better to lure sailors onto the rocks! (the word Siren comes from Greek mythology, Siren's were "humanlike beings with very alluring voices, they appear in a scene in the Odyssey in which Odysseus" stops "the ears of his crew with wax so that they were deaf to the Sirens. Odysseus himself wanted to hear their song but had himself tied to the mast so that he would not be able to steer the ship off its course." in latin languages such as Italian, "mermaid" is "la sirena")
